Casa (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Dallas-Fort Worth is a non-profit organization based in Texas that advocates for children in the foster care system. Established as part of the national CASA network, the organization recruits, trains, and supports community volunteers who serve as court-appointed advocates for abused and neglected children in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The organization’s primary mission is to ensure that children in the foster care system have their voices heard in court proceedings and receive appropriate services and support. CASA volunteers, also known as Guardian ad Litems, are appointed by judges to investigate cases and make recommendations regarding the best interests of the children they serve. Casa of Dallas-Fort Worth works closely with the Texas child welfare system, family court judges, attorneys, and social workers to provide comprehensive advocacy services. Volunteers typically handle one case at a time, allowing them to focus intensively on the needs of specific children and families. They monitor court orders, educational progress, medical care, and living conditions while maintaining regular contact with the children they represent. The organization operates through a combination of government funding, grants, and private donations. It provides extensive training programs for volunteers and maintains professional staff to supervise and support advocacy efforts.
